Radico Colour Me Organic is a two-step plant-based beard and whisker colorant in Soft Black. It uses six certified organic plant powders and leaves out PPD, PTD, ammonia, peroxide and resorcinol, which is the main reason men with sensitive skin seek it out. The trade-off is time: two one-hour applications at home, and the color deepens over the next two to three days. Beard hair is harder to color than scalp hair, so expect a longer process than a one-step dye and a result that builds rather than appears at once.

Ratings are middling, around 3.9 out of 5 from a small group of buyers. The plant-based formula and lack of PPD draw interest from sensitive-skin users, but the two-step, two-hour routine and the slow color development are the recurring friction points.
This is a two-step beard colour made only from organic plant powders. It contains no synthetic dyes. It is free of PPD, PTD, ammonia, peroxide and resorcinol, and it is certified COSMOS ORGANIC by ECOCERT GREENLIFE. It is made in India.
The kit has two packs that are applied one after the other. Pack 1 is henna-based and lays down a warm base that bonds to the hair. Pack 2 is indigo-based. Indigo keeps developing after it is rinsed off while the hair is still damp, which is where the black comes from, so it goes on second. The colour settles to Soft Black over the following two to three days.
Each pack is mixed with water at 1 part powder to 3 parts water: 5 oz (150 g) of water to a 1.76 oz (50 g) pack. Pack 2 comes out slightly firmer than Pack 1, which is normal, and it needs no extra water. Pack 1 measured pH 4.58 at 78.9°F and Pack 2 measured pH 6.24 at 80.4°F. Wash the beard with shampoo first, with no conditioner or beard oil.
